Well there are pros & cons with RO, at most you may want it for drinking and cooking but not anything else in the home, too expensive for the flow rate, yes a tank would work but then that tank needs a pump to deliver water to home.
All 4 of my aquarium stores on Long Island have such systems, I installed a 700 gallon a day RO with a 1,000 gallon tank and pump it to the fish systems for water changes and acclimation. Cost was about $6,000.
But the stores have about 9,000 gallons of fish & coral tanks
Back to a typical home
For that we can do a under sink RO with a faucet next to the sink.
But as you know an RO strips all the minerals out of the water, great for reef/fish tanks but most folks need those minerals.
So it's a matter of choice not necessity.
In my opinion, the water filtered by the triple Nova system more than meets the needs of having great water at a very reasonable price.
Did I answer your question with enough detail?
